Aethlius or Aithlios (Ancient Greek: Ἀέθλιος means "winning the prize") or Aethnos was, in Greek mythology, the first king of Elis.
== Family == Aethlius was the son of Zeus and Protogeneia (daughter of Deucalion), and was married to Calyce by whom he fathered Endymion. According to some accounts, Endymion was himself a son of Zeus and first king of Elis. Other traditions again made Aethlius a son of Aeolus, who was called by the name of Zeus.
